Lecturer at the School of Engineering of Bilbao since January 2021 and member of the COMPMECH research group, a consolidated group of the UPV/EHU and the Basque Government. Within the group I have actively collaborated in the research lines of parallel kinematics mechanisms, computational kinematics and study of deformable mechanisms. My main work has focused both on the kinematic simulation of mechanisms and on the design of mechanisms, the manufacture and fine-tuning of prototypes, as well as sensorisation and experimental tests for the kinematic and dynamic validation of the designs. At present, my research work is focused on the new line of research on mechanisms for rehabilitation in collaboration with the Gorliz Hospital.
In the field of teaching, I have taught different subjects in the area of Mechanical Engineering, both in the plans prior to the EHEA and in the latest ones. At present, my teaching is divided between undergraduate and master's degree courses.
Finally, we would like to highlight the active participation in the Formula Student Bizkaia project since 2015. Formula Student Bizkaia is an annual, non-profit educational project that focuses on mentoring a group of around 50 students in order to design, manufacture and build a single-seater racing car. The project focuses on promoting the employability of students and is structured as a company within the University.
